OT: share thoughts on GMO food

wondering your thoughts. As I'm trying to transition to full paleo .. Can't help but wonder if there really is something to the changes in foods cellular structure ...
home grown food does taste much better.. And if much rather have venison than beef ... But
food for thought there has been a big increase in skin / food allergies in dogs within the past few years and their food is made with the same products we purchase at the grocery store
and going back to selecting for particular genes... Dairy cows are a hands on example ..
there is a direct correlation between higher milk yield and poorer hoof structure..
Rant / random thought probably not making much since but I'm delirious with exhaustion as this thought ran through my head.

Crossbreeding Kobe beef with Angus is witchcraft and should be considered suspicious. The result is American Wagyu, that sounds scary.They/Them

Most of the vegetables you eat are GMO
e.g.: Corn is grass that has been genetically modified by man. -
It's funny that the folks usually complaining about GMOs are smoking hybrid strains of weed.

I guess it beats famine.

My father was a Chemistry professor. He used to start every semester of Basic Chem by asking the class "how many of you would eat a pile of chemicals?"
Of course, almost nobody would raise their hand. Pile of chemicals? Yuck.
Then he'd explain to them that food is made from chemicals, just like Soylent green is people."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

I think the bigger problem is because dogs are genetically engineered.DuckDogDr said:

If you are truly planning to transition to "Full Paleo" then I hope you are not over 30 years old because you will be dead soon.

Not complaining about GMO.. It's necessary to feed our growing population. Just thinking outside the box

Are you?DuckDogDr said:Not complaining about GMO.. It's necessary to feed our growing population. Just thinking outside the boxKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
In all seriousness, we can grind up any GMO food and analyze it. We can get an assay of the types of proteins, sugars, carbs, vitamins, fats, fibers, phytonutrients, minerals, sterols, etc. The DNA/RNA isn't going to embed into our DNA/RNA and turn us into zombies.
There may be some new compounds, but they're probably found in other foods and most have been studied to death. There are some chemicals that can cause inflammation, allergies, are analogs to steroids, etc.
Choosing *what* you eat - your diet - is probably going to have a bigger impact on your health than if it's GMO or not.
That said, the FDA is lobbied hard to not test GMO products (regulation is bad, m'kay) so we really don't know everything we could.
And on the downside, some of these GMO products contaminate the natural products, and then Monsanto (THE DEVIL!) owns it. Plus they F farmers.
So it's not all roses. But the population of the planet needs to be fed, and we need to modify the genetics of food to grow it in an increasingly hostile climate.
